Question:medium

(A). Enzymes enhance reaction rate by a factor of 2 to 10
(B). Activation energy of a reaction is lowered by enzymes
(C). Interactions between enzymes and substrates are hydrogen, ionic and hydrophobic bonds
(D). Substrate concentration does not affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction using weak, non-covalent interactions (hydrogen, ionic, hydrophobic) to bind the substrate, accelerating rates by immense factors (\(10^5\text{ to }10^{17}\)).
  • (A) and (B) only.
  • (B) and (C) only.
  • (A) and (C) only.
  • (A) and (D) only.
